Klopp labelled Liverpool’s 2024 Carabao Cup success as “one of the most special games” he has ever been involved in due to the circumstances in which they beat Chelsea.

The Reds had several injury problems heading into the Wembley showpiece and in the end, relied on their youngsters to get them over the line.

Speaking to Liverpool.com ahead of the 2025 Carabao Cup final, Slot has shared that he texted the former Reds coach after their victory over Chelsea as he knew how much that win meant to him.

“We played that day, I remember,” Slot said.

And yeah, it was a special day for the club, as it’s always a special day if you play a final.”

Liverpool’s defeat to PSG on Tuesday could potentially affect the Reds during their Carabao Cup final clash with Newcastle as the Merseyside club were dragged to penalties and were clearly tired towards the end of extra time.

In addition to the physical aspect, the players were likely to be mentally deflated after being eliminated from the Champions League but Slot expects his team to bounce back on Sunday.

When asked if the Carabao Cup final is the perfect match to respond to their PSG defeat, Slot said: “Yeah, it’s maybe the perfect game.

“I think our nine games in the league are going to be finals as well so if we had to play for the league on Sunday, I think we would have been up for it also.

“But yeah, it’s always nice to play for a trophy.
